Spotlight | Precious Herbal Pillow.

Sleeping on a cushioned bench at the hospital isn't that bad. But doing it for a couple of nights in a row, well, it gets pretty uncomfortable. And so by the time we left the hospital (where we stayed for four nights), my shoulders were pretty stiff, and my back felt sore. It would have been nice if I could hie off to the spa and get a much-needed massage, but 'me-time' has really become a luxury for me these days.

Filled with natural grains, aromatic herbs, and pure essential oils, the Precious Herbal Pillow is a great natural alternative to ease and relax body aches and muscle pains. In my case, it's enjoying the comforts of a spa at home.

Unboxing the pillow.

A doctor-recommended product, this herbal pillow can be used two ways - hot or cold. Yes, you can use it as a hot compress by placing the pillow inside the microwave, heating it on high for 1-2 minutes, and placing it on the affected body part. Or you can place it inside a Ziploc, store it in the fridge overnight, and use it as a cold compress.

Small Back Pillow (12x12 inches), Php 599.

I've tried doing both with this Small Back Pillow. Hot for my stiff shoulders and aching back, and cold for my eyes. (There are specially-made Eye Pillows actually, but at present only the Small Back Pillow and Shoulder Pillow are available at Human Heart Nature.

Guaranteed comfort!

At night, I keep this herbal pillow next to me to help me sleep better. Because as you may have already known, I have the meanest insomnia ever. The minty scent emanating from the pillow is quite relaxing, and as I like to call it, 'very zen'.

And from what I've read, this aromatic scent can last for a couple of months, a year even, with proper care and usage. You can't wash the pillow itself, but you can remove the outer cover and wash it for hygienic purposes.

A multitude of uses and benefits!

With a multitude of uses and benefits, these pillows make great Christmas gifts for your parents, grandparents, and of course, parents-in-law. I bet most of you will agree with me. :)

Profits of these pillows will directly help a sewing community in San Nicolas, Bulacan. Also, they will support Right Start Community Development Inc., a non-stock, non-profit NGO which aims to give underprivileged Filipino children a right start in life through music, dance, and creative arts.

The Precious Herbal Pillow is precious in more ways than one, don't you think?
